Tune: | [The Lord came down to the Garden of Eden] |
Composer: | Adam Geibel |
1 The Lord came down to the Garden of Eden
And walked with Adam beneath the tree;
In seasons of sorrow, when I most need him,
Why will he not come and walk with me?
Chorus:
Yes, he will come, O, yes, he will come,
When I am needing his sympathy;
When Jesus sees me walking in sorrow,
Then he will come and walk with me.
2 Three hundred years he was walking with Enoch,
And then God took him with him to be;
If my heart is longing to be more like him,
Why will he not come and walk with me? [Chorus]
3 The Lord came down to the three Hebrew children,
And in the furnace he set them free;
If he walked with Daniel among the lions,
Why will he not come and walk with me? [Chorus]
4 Our Lord once walked with disciples to Emmaus,
And made their sorrows and sadness flee;
If he is forever the same blessed Saviour,
Why will he not come and walk with me? [Chorus]
